We then turn to glass and coated glass applications for thin-film photovoltaics, specifically transparent conductive coatings and the advantages of highly resistive transparent layers. Finally, we discuss the use of coated glasses as mirrors for concentrated solar power applications.
The successful application of cost-effective technologies for harvesting of solar energy remains a challenge for research and industry. Glass is an essential element of the mirrors used in concentrated solar power (CSP) applications, where such mirrors reflect incident solar light and concentrate it onto a target.
We begin with a discussion of glass requirements, specifically composition, that enable increased solar energy transmission, which is critical for solar applications. Next we discuss anti-reflective surface treatments of glass for further enhancement of solar energy transmission, primarily for crystalline silicon photovoltaics.
Despite the abundance of solar radiation , significant energy losses occur due to scattering, reflection, and thermal dissi-pation. Glass mitigates these losses by functioning as a protective layer, optical enhancer, and spectral converter within PV cells.
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
